AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and Discuss Naming Standards for Parks and Trail Facilities.

BACKGROUND:

The Parks Master Plan was adopted by Council on April 25, 2019. A recommendation in this plan was to hold a park and trail naming discussion with Council. This agenda item is to hold that discussion and:

Consider if descriptors used in park names best reflect industry standards;
Clarify names and boundaries of trail systems and parks that have expanded over time; and,
Utilize park signage to improve way finding.

Specific to the above talking points, the Parks Master Plan recommended consideration of the following items:

Should Les Lacs Linear Park, Les Lacs Pond, the Community Garden and the greenscape south of the Addison Grove Development be considered as part of a larger linear park system or should they be considered as individual parks?
How should extensions to the Redding Trail, that were constructed in various phases, be referred to and what are the boundaries of the Redding Trail?
Should Arapaho Park be considered an Urban Park instead of the Arapaho Greenbelt once the Cotton Belt Trail is constructed?
Is the name White Rock Creek Park the best descriptor to use?

Staff will make a presentation to Council.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff seeks direction from Council.
